Haitian History in New Orleans

At this point anybody that thinks of Gumbo as Cajun is an idiot, but this is great evidence for arguments sake. It definitely wasn’t that long ago people were still saying Gumbo had a French origin.

I’m still convinced the oldest Gumbo comes out of South Carolina though, they just haven’t found an old enough document yet to “prove” it.

yeah IMO, it was either Virginia or South Carolina with the first Gumbo with South Carolina being the oldest continuous source of Gumbo

But Creole and Anglophone black slaves were the FIRST to integrate with each other in Louisiana.

@Supper ...something related to this

Laura Plantation is a restored historic Louisiana Creole plantation on the west bank of the Mississippi River near Vacherie, Louisiana, (U.S.), open for guided tours.[2] Formerly known as Duparc Plantation, it is significant for its early 19th-century Créole-style raised big house and several surviving outbuildings, including two slave cabins. It is one of only 15 plantation complexes in Louisiana with this many complete structures.[2] Because of its historical importance, the plantation is on the National Register of Historic Places. The site, in St. James Parish, Louisiana, is also included on the Louisiana African American Heritage Trail.
